General Statement
FOUNDATION.
VANDERBILT
UNIVERSITYowes its foundation to the munificence
or Cornelius Vanderbilt, of New York, who, on the 27th of March,
1873, made a donation of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars. This
was subsequently increased until the entire donation amoun~
to One Million Dollars.
The special donation of One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars made by Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt, the son of the founder. in
August, 1879, added to the Campus Wesley Hall (a commodious
structure for the use of the Biblical Department), the Gymnasium and its outfit, Science Hall, and a complete equipment of approved apparatus for instruction in engineering. In July, 1883,
Mr. W. H. Vanderbilt added One Hundred Thousand Dollars to
the permanent endowment of the University.
In his will he bequeathed to it Two Hundred Thousand Dollars, and this sum has
been added to the Endowment, which is now over One Million
Dollars •.
In January 1888, Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, a grandson of the
founder, made a donation of Thirty Thousand Dollars for the
erection of a Mechanical Engineering Ball.
In April, 1899, Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt, a grandson of the founder, erected Kissam Hall, a dormitory, in memory of his mother, at
a cost of about One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars.
Other donations, amounting to over Six Hundred Thousand
Dollars, have been received from time to time from several generous patrons.
ORGANIZATION.
The University is organized with seven distinct departments,
as follows:
I. THE ACADEMICDEPARTMENT,embracing Philosophy,
Science, and Literature.
II. THE BIBLICALDEPARTMENT.
III. THE LAW DEPARTMENT.
IV. THE MEDICALDEPARTMENT.
V. THE PHARMACEUTICAL
DEPARTMENT.
VI. THE DENTALDEPARTMENT.
VII. THE ENGINEERINGDEPARTMENT.
MEDICAL
DEPARTMENT.
Ii
Each of these departments has its Faculty of Instruction,
charged with its special management.
CAMPUS.
The University Campus is in the City of Nashville. The
grounds comprise seventy-six acres, and from their elevationon a level with Capitol Hill-afford fine views on every side, and
furnish the full conditions of health. The campus is lighted by
electricity, and improved with drives and walks, and about a
hundred and fifty varieties of shade trees.
On the campus are located,about thirty buildings, consisting of
the College Hall, Science Hall, Mechanical Hall, Wesley Hall,
Kissam Hall, Furman Hall, Observatory, Gymnasium, Dormi:tories, Y. M. C. A. Building, and professors' residences.
Instruction in the Academic, Biblical, Pharmaceutical, and
Engineering Departments is given in the buildings on the campus. The Law Department occupies a handsome stone-front on
Fourth Avenue, North, near Union, and the Dental Department
has new quarters in a large, six-story building on Vauxhall
Street. The Medical Department is on the corner of Fifth Avenue and Elm Street, and is fully described, pages 9-14.
PHYSICAL TRAINING.
The Gymnasium, which is situated on the campus, is a brick
building, 90 x 60 feet, substantial, and of handsome architectural
design. It has a basement, containing dressing and bath rooms,
and rooms for special exercises; a principal floor, for general
exercise and training, and a gallery, extending around the interior of the building, in which is situated a running track. It is
equipped with all modern apparatus.
A fine athletic field has recently been laid out and committed
to the care of the Vanderbilt University Athletic Association.
The authorities of the University, in recognition of the importance of regular and systematic physical exercise during the formative period of studeRt life, have placed to£ Gymnasium under
the charge of a director who has had experience in physical
training. The Gymnasium is open to all mf'mbers of the University for voluntary exercise.
HOMES FOR STUDENTS.
Students are allowed to select their own homes in families approved by the Chancellor. There are good boarding houses near

the Medical Department. Whenever a change is made in the
place of boarding, the student must report the same to the Secretary of the Faculty. Students so desiring, can live on campus.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATTON.
This Association was organized at Commencement in 1879.
Any person who has taken a degree in the University may become a member of the Association on payment of the initiation
fee of one dollar.

VANDERBILT ALUMNI OF THE A. M. A.
At the 1907 meeting of the American Medi~al ~ssociation, held
at Atlantic City, the Vanderbilt Alumni Association of the A. M.
A. was formed. A meeting and banquet has been held each year
since. The following officers were elected at the St. Louis meeting of the A. M. A. in .1910:
DR. F. M. WILLIAMS,Hot Springs, Ark.mm.m
President
DR.J. H. BLACKBURN,
Bowling Green, Ky
Vice Pres;.de!lt
DIt. W!d. LITTERER,Nashville, Tenn ......m.m.secretary-Treasllrer
The annual meeting is to be held on the evening of the first day
of the meeting of the S. M. A., Tuesday, November 8, 1910,
and is to be followed by a smoker or banquet. All Alumni expecting to be present are requested to notify Dr. Litterer.
Y. M.O.A.
This organization is now the best recognized activity in our
student life, having the largest and most representative membership of any student organization in College. The Association
stands ready to receive all of its old friends back and to welcome
all new students, seeking to provide a channel for active Christian
work by and for the students. The fee is $2 per year. This
amount will be accepted by the City Association as paid on a student's ticket, which entitles the holder to the use of. baths, gymnasium, swimming pool, etc.
Bible and Mission Study Classes are held in students' rooms.
Devotional meetings held every Frid'ay night. in the College and
one platform address a month by some prominent speaker have
proven most helpful. A reading room, with the best medical and
literary magazines, is open' to all the College students.
Members of the Association will. return a few days before the
session opens to welcome all new students, and will gladly aid
them in securing agreeable boarding houses.

Preliminary Statement
The Medical Department of Vanderbilt University is located
in a liuilding on the corner of. Elm Street and Fifth Avenue.
South; one of the pleasantest portions of the city.. ~andsome
residences close at hand furnish convenient boarding facilities
and agreeable surroundings. Two lines of electric cars pass in
the imme<liatevicinity of the colIege, thus renpering it accessible from all points of the city. The building was erected in 1895.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MEDICAL BUILDING.
The colIege building is an imposing structure four stories
hIgh, comprising 10,000 square feet ground floor surface.
In designing the building, the Trustees were governed by two
ideas: First, to provide for the students commodious, comforta'>le
and elegant sanitary quarters; and, secondly, to erect a structure
so arranged as to meet the requirements of advanced medical
education. Every facility is afforded for conducting a combined
didactic, laboratory, and clinical course. Facing Fifth Avenue,
South, the principal north and south thoroughfare of the city,
the building runs back along Elm 160 feet, with an open square
to the south. The location assures a wealth of light and ventilation. In perfecting the plans, the architect has carefully
avoided narrow halls, recesses, and alcoves, every part of the
building being thus abundantly lighted and ventilated. The
plumbing, such an essential feature in an institution of this.
kind, has all the modern requirements of sanitation.
THE FmsT FLOOR.-The entrance is on Elm Street, and intended for the exclusive use of patients applying to the dispensary and hospital service. The larger part of the western half
of this floor is arranged for an outdoor clinic and hospital accommodating forty patients, the. remaining portion being occupied by the arena of the Surgical Lecture Room. The eastern
half is entirely occupied by the Chemical Laboratory, and in a
cellar beneath are the engine rooms, furunaces, etc.
SECOND
FLOOR.-The entrance to this, the principal floor of
the building, is on Fifth Avenue, and is reached by a high flight

of stone steps. On this floor are the Medical and Surgical Class
Rooms, a large Reception Room for students, the Faculty Room,
offices of the Dean and Secretary, and janitor's quarters are
near the entrance. This floor communicates by broad stairways
with the third floor above and with the Laboratory and Dispensary below.
THIRD FLOoR.-Here is located the principal lecture room,
with a seating capacity of 500. Oll this floor, also, are the Laboratories of Bacteriology, Physiology, and Microscopy, Museum
and Library.
Special provision has been made in the equipment of the various laboratories for instruction of classes in sections, and every
detail looking to the thorough teaching of the individual student,
in these most important fundamentals, has been carefully considered. The already extensive museum is being added to continuously, which furnishes ample material for the instruction
of students i.n gross Pathology.
FOURTHFLOOR.-This floor is occupied by the Dissecting Hall,
private dissecting rooms, with the necess.lcy attachments and
conveniences, and a spacious class room for. anatomical demonstrations. The exact arrangement of each of these floors may
be seen from the accompanying floor plans.
SPECIALFEATURES.-Recoarnizingthat the material advance in
medical education demands a proper gradation of the course and
classification of the students, the modern college building must
be provided with ample and properly adapted class rooms. Vanderbilt University has constructed the medical building with this
object in view.
One of the special and most '.l.ttractive features of "be college
is the Surgical Lecture Room. It has its arena on the first floor,
and seats rise abruptly through two stories. The room has a
seating capacity of 280, and is architecturally designed to afford
a perfect view of the arena. All the mat<:!rialt'mployed.in the
construction of this room permits of thorough washing, thus observing the modern idea of asepsis. The arena, 20 x 16, is a
semi-circle, and is equipped with the convenien;:rs of a modern
operating rOOIn,including hot and cold water, sterilizers, filter,
instrument stand, operating table, etc. The floor is of encaustic
tiling, inclining to a lateral drain. In close relation with the
arena are the surgical consulting room and the anresthetizing

room. Through a broad, arched window ample northern light
falls upon the arena. At night it is illuminated by electric andgaslight. The students enter this room at the rear end on the
second floor. Adjoining the Surgical Amphitheatre is the Charity Hospital, where the third and fourth year students are taught
each aiternoon at the bedside the practkal part of sur~ry,
medicine and obstetrics.
The :!\fedicalLecture Room, at the east end of the building, acco~odates 280 students,and.is
a well-arranged auditorium.
In addition to these lecture halls t~:C!re
are on the secondfloor two
class rooms, each-accommodating cne hundred students.
On the third floor is the Main Auditorium, with a seating e&pacity of 500. The anatomical class room, with accommodations
for 150 students~ is on the fourth floor. Here special instruction
in surgical anatomy and operative surgery is given advanced students. The Dissecting Hall is located on the fourth floor, and
comprises a large room 40 x 60, and a number of small rooms
for prosectors and advanced students. In the arrangement of
this hall mu.;:hconsideration for the comfort of the student has
been shown. A dressing room with numerous lockers, a spacious
lavatory and toilet room are provided. The crematory, storing
and embalming rooms, necessary conveniences of this d~partment, are in connection with the main hall. The floor is asphaltum, with gutter drainage. The dissecting tables have slate
tops, and each is provided with portable lights. In the arrangement and equipment of this room every effort has been made !o~
protection against the accumuulation of filth and odors.
A Library, having all the leading journals and works of reference, is provided for the use of the studen~s without extra fee.
BEGINNING OF SESSION.
The session will begin on Thursday, September 22, 1910, and
close on Monday, May 23, 1911.
All students should present themselves punctually at the opening of the session. The loss of a few lectures at the beginning
of the session may prove to be of serious embarrassment to
subsequent progress.
COURSE OF STUDY.
The course of study extends through four regular sessions,
each being seven and OI;1e-half
months in length. Tbe course is
16
VANDERBlLT UNIVERSIty.
strictly graded so that the sequence of subjects is logical; thus
the student loses no time through needless repetition, and is not
introduced into subjects before he is prepared to derivt' tht!
greatest benefits from the instruction.
Special courses are open to graduates in medicine who wjsh
to pursue some special line of study or research.
METHODS OF TEACHING.
The method of teaching in the class room is by didactic lectures and recitations. The recitation feature, supplemented by
"incidental lecturing and ~iscussion, will be emphasized. Great
stress will be laid on personal instruction in the clinics, laboratories, and demonstration rooms. Bed-side instruction will be given
the advanced classes. The clinics will be carried on during the
entire year. Students are required to attend all the exercises of
the classes to which they have been admitted.
.
EXAMINATION.
Each class will be examined at the end of the session. A student falling below the required grade in any subject may make
up the deficiencyat the beginning of the next session by satisfactorily passing a special examination in the subject in which he is
deficient; otherwise, he will be required to repeat the work the
next year•.
Credit for a full course of instruction will not be given unless the student remains throughout the session and successfully
passes all the examination in the subjects required in the class
for which he desires credit.
Examinations during the lecture hour may be held at any time,
at the option of the professor•.
A candidate for graduation failing to pass in not more than
two subjects will be granted a second examination, provided the
average grade of his first examination is not less than sixty-five
per cent.
Entrance examination for the freshman class, and also for all
those applying for advanced standing and for the removal of
conditions, will be held September 23-24.
HONOR ROLL.
Students attaining a grade of ninety per cent in any class will
have their names placed on the Honor Roll, which will be published in the CommencementProgramme.
MEDICAL
17
DEPARTMENT.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION.
,
No one will be admitted to any class previous to matriculation.
All candidates for admission must be of good moral character,
and not less than eighteen years of age.
Each student applying for matriculation must possess scholastic attainments equal to those of a recognized high school graduate. ,All credentials must be passed on by the Superintendent of
Public Instruction of the State of .Tennessee,in accordance with
the law of the American Medical College Association, of which
Vanderbilt University is a member. Should he not possess a
diploma of graduation from some literary or scientific institution
of learning, or from some recognized high school,he may present a
,certificate showing the subjects and text-books he has studied,
with the time spent on each. His work will be passed on, and if
deficient he must make up such deficiency by examination before
entrance.
Blanks will be furnished by the Secl;"etaryon application.
ADVANCED STANDING.
A student who has attended one or more courses at a medical
college, which is a member of the Association of American Medical Colleges, desiring to enter this institution, will be given
credit, provided he presents a statement from the Dean of the
College from which he desires to withdraw certifying to his
moral qualification and to the exact work he has done in said
College.
No advanced standing is given to those having academic degrees, nor to graduates in Pharmacy or Dentistry .•
COURSE OF INSTRUCTION.
The rapid progress of medicine and the general demand for
higlier medical attainments, together with the experience of the
Faculty, have conclusively proven the necessity for a change in
the older methods of teaching. No course of instruction by diaactic lectures, however learned, can take the place of laboratory
training and clinical experience at the bedside, where students
will be brought into close personal relations with each professor
and instructor, thereby inciting them to active personal work and
a higher degree of proficiency. To this end, class-room recita-
18
VANDERBILT
UNIVERSITY.
tions will be held daily. This method, together with laboratory and
clinical work, will largely replace didactic lectures, though such
lectures are retained as best in some courses, and as essential, to
some degree, in all. These class-room quizzes are kept up through
the entire course, but are made an especial feature in the first
year, when students are learning the fundamental principles of
medjcine. Written examinations are held at the end of each
year.
The facilities for laboratory instruction are especially complete in themselves, containing all the equipment in apparatus
and material that is needed for thorough teaching. The advantages offered for clinical instruction, which is such an important'
feature in the course, are excellent, both at the large City Hospital, where there will be a clinic every day in the week, and at
the college hospital, clinic and dispensary, where each student
will have the opportunity to examine and prescribe for all kinds
of diseases under the personal supervision of the professor or his
assistant. Advanced students will have cases from the medical,
surgical, and obstetrical clinics assigned to their care for home
treatment, under the direction of instructors.
In addition to this, each senior student serves as interne in the
College Hospital, having associated with him a junior student,
in the practical work of making clinical examinations of blood,
sputum, urine, and other secretions, as t.hey may be demanded in
individual cases. They also compile the histories of all cases, as
they come into the College Hospital. These student internes also
have practical charge, under proper supervision, of the Out-door
G. U. Clinic, where they learn the practical u~e of instruments
~nd methods of treatment and dressings. During this service
as student interne, each student is instructed in the best method
of adminitering various anresthetics, both general and local.
It is believed that a course in the medical department of a
great university, such as the students here enjoy, offers facilities
far superior to those obtained in an independent medical school.
It might not be out of place to call attention to the fact that
the indications point to the merging of the independent medical
schools with those in connection with established universities,
consequently those entering upon the study of medicine would do
well to look to the probable permanency of the institution from
which they desire to receive their diplomas.

Professor of Clinical Surge!'Y.;Dr. EVE,
JR., Adjunct Professor of Surgery and Demonstrator; Dr. ANDERSON,Assistant; Dr. OVERTON,
Assistant in Clinical Surgery; Dr. ALEXANDER,
Anmsthetist.
Instruction in surgery is given the students of the third and
fourth years, who are admitted to the surgical clinics.
The course embraces the whole of general surgery, and is so
divided that third-year students are taught the principles of
surgery, including surgical bacteriology and pathology; and the
fourth-year students the practice of surgery, which will cover
the practical technique of surgical work. Both the third and
fourth course students are given bed-side instruction in the
College Hospital, including a thorough course in administering
anmsthetics, the application of surgical dressings and the management of emergency cases.
The subject of asepsis and antisepsis will receive special attention, and considerable time will be given to the important subjects
of tumors, fractures, dislocations, amputations, orthopedic affections. Demonstrations will be made of the methods of reductions
of fractures and dislocations, the preparation of splints and
other surgical appliances in the lecture room and clinic, thus affording the best and most practical instruction. The method inaugurated last session in having every student of the advanced
classes serve as internes in the College Hospital will be continued the coming session.
In the surgical laboratory the fourth-year class is divided into
sections and instructed in the proper methods of applying bandages, dressings, etc., and given a thorough course in operative
work, each student being required to operate on the cadaver himself, under the guidance of the demonstrator. So important do
we regard this work that a final examination is held upon the,
same.

The inlitruction in medicine is divided so that students ot the
second year receive lectures upon suitable subjects, together
with thorough training in physical diagnosis, including the use
of the stethoscope and other instruments so necessary for thorough diagnosis. The position of the organs of the body in their
normal state, and their deviations in disease, are taught upon
human subjects and patients from the outdoor clinics. The
third-year class is divided into sections, and each student is required to examine patients under the supervision of the professor or his assistant, and both clinicai and laboratory me~hodsof
diagnosis are taught them.
'
The studies of the fourth year are taught by lectures, clinics,
and bed-side instruction in the College Hospital. Students are
called in rotation to examine and prescribe for patients everi'
week. They are also given patients who are unable to leave
home, and will attend them through the entire illness, under the
guidance of the professor or his assistant. This, together with
class work which is given every week, beside instruction and
recitations, and bi-weekly medical conierences, with every student and teacher taking part, is the method by which students
acquire proficiency and self-reliance.
DISEASES
OF THE EYE, EAR, NOSE AND THROAT.
Dr. PRICE,Professor; Dr. MOORE,
Demonstrator.
Two hours each week will be given to diseases of the eye to
the fourth-year' class, and tw'o clinics each week during the session, one clinic at the City Hospital and one in the college build
ing. The students in this class will also receive instruction in
thE' use of instruments for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the eye, in the college out-door clinic. To the third-year
class, will be given didactic lectures and clinical instruction on
diseases of the nose, throat and ear. The members of this class
will also receive instruction in the use of instruments for diagnosis and treatment.
The objects aimed at in this department are to prepare pltysicians to diagnose and treat the common diseases of these organs, and also be able to recognize conditions dependent upon
constitutional disorders.

The plan of teaching anatomy pursued is somewhat different
from that usually employed. Instead of didactic lectures by the
professor, portions of a standard text-book are assigned, and
recitations are conducted, interspersed with explanatory notes,
~nd every point is fully illustrated by models, charts, and the
dissected subject, and the students are required to make drawings of the subjects under discussion, and of the parts dissected.
Students are furnished bones for studying during the college
~~
..
First-year students complete the study of bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles. Second-year students complete the subject,
including regional and visceral anatomy. In the third year a
course on Applied Anatomy, in which the systematic study of
the normal, living body will be taken up. This course will in\ elude regional, relational and surface anatomy, the living model
being constantly used for study and demonstration. All class
work is carefully graded.
Special attention is paid to practical anatomy. The plan of
instruction includes both quizzes ,and demonst.rations. Each
student is required to dissect at least one entire subject. The
first year is devoted to the dissection of the extremities, and
during the second year the head, neck, thorax, abdomen, and
pelvis are dissected.
A bundant material for dissection is furnished at the nominal
cost of two dollars a part to first and second year'studenu.
